I decided to temporarily nix Aussie Mega Moist Conditioner and return to (the now smaller) Tresemme Botanique Coconut and Aloe. I also decided to stop my no-baking soda and do the full maximum hydration method.
Basically, my hair was too undefined when wet with no product (unless extremely soaked,) so I have decided it's worth it to return to a >90% level of hydration even if it means using old products.
I didn't decide this until I was already into my DC. So I shampooed with shea moisture low porosity, the began to DC with the Tresemme. I rinsed it about 90%, then began the MHM.
I used about a tablespoon of baking soda in 2 oz of Tresemme Botanique, filling the rest of the 8 oz applicator bottle with water. I applied it to my hair and left it for about 15-20 minutes and then rinsed completely. My hair felt amazing. I then made a clay mask with (in order and mixed before applying the next things) bentonite clay, hibiscus powder, apple cider vinegar, argan oil, and water to texture (thicker seems to be better for my hair). I had to make two batches again, so clearly I need to start making much more in the first place. I'll start measuring.
I left that on for about 45 minutes then rinsed thoroughly. I applied watered down 50/50 Tresemme until the hair stopped dripping (not a lot.) then took small sections and squeezed in Eden Bodyworks Serum, then Uncle Funky's Daughter gel.
My hair looked absolutely amazing until I got to the con Friday night, when it frizzed up fiercely. It didn't feel crunchy, it felt soft but firm, almost like I used a cream instead of a gel. Overall, my hair felt amazing, but I need to figure out what to do with my gels to improve the hold in the summer. I'm thinking [more] honey to start.
